On the Hub-and-spoke Model with Arc Capacity Conatraints

چکیده
In this paper, we present a new formulation of one-stop capacitated hub-and-spoke model as a natural extension of the uncapacitated one-stop model. The model involves arc capacity constraints as well as hub capacity constraints, which enables us to incorporate some practical factors into the model. We also present a branch-and-bound based exact solution method with Lagrangian relaxation bounding strategy, and report some results of numerical experiments using real aviation data. Computational results show the practical significance of the proposed capacitated model.

A Multi-Level Capacity Approach to the Hub and Spoke Network
The existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. Although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...

Supply chain is an integrated system of facilities and activities. Gaining the optimum design of demand satisfaction network is one of the most important live issues in the decision making problems category. Most of previous studies considered unreal assumptions such as the lack of capacity constraints to satisfy demand in the network and in hubs. By considering the nature of the case that have...

HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...

In this paper, a stochastic programming approach is applied to the airline network revenue management problem. The airline network with the arc capacitated single hub location problem based on complete–star p-hub network is considered. We try to maximize the profit of the transportation company by choosing the best hub locations and network topology, applying revenue management techniques to al...
